I just love how Rob Bowman likes to “play” with the lights. Angles and lights. I already said it about “Kick The Ballistics” which he directed too. He’s amazing.
I was thrilled to see how awesome is the scene in the Hudson River, after Castle got him and Beckett out of the sinking car. Bowman just uses the natural lighting coming from the reflex on the river to create almost a magical aura around Kate and Rick. As if those golden lights were warming them, enlightening the scene. It’s amazing.
And the scene that Sofia is going to kill them both? That super clean space, super bright as a hospital. It’s senseless and fearless just like Sofia. Those big white lights crossing the whole ceiling as if they could break through the almost palpable tension into the room.
I love how he “plays” with shadows and textures that the lights can provide him. From “gold” to super clean. From dark to red and brown. He creates feelings using colors, as when you smell that great scent of a fresh baked pie and you remember sundays morning on your grandma’s home. He brings us something we couldn’t feel with just simple images, so he uses all the shadows and colors he can.
When they’re at the precinct, a familiar place, the color is warm, the footage is comforting, already known angles and places. When they move to the CIA base, he uses cold colors, everything have shades of blue and grey and the angles are new, lots of close ups.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just talking bull here. But I like to think he’s playing with our minds as he plays with the colors and textures.
MAN, the moment when Castle & Beckett are at one side of the door and Joe & Vera at the other is the best!
And that end? “we have 4 children, 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, why we needed a Blue Butterfly?”. Beckett’s face gets so happy and like “hey, this is real love and devotion.” I bet Castle would give all of his money to stay with Beckett.
This show is amazing with such amazing writers, directors and producers. They bring so much life and light to Castle.
I’m a soon-to-be PR. I’m studying for that, at least.
Ya know, Public Relations.
I was watching “Dial M for Mayor” last night and a line from Castle got me. He’s having a discussion with Beckett about exposing the mayor or not willing to have his coat analyzed by CSU.
He asks her to not do it because the press is going to crash him and his whole political career would be gone. She says she has to do it and when they prove that he is innocent everything will get back on its place. And he answers her:
“Kate, this is politics. Perception is reality. The truth would not matter.”
Ok, besides my fangirling thing about this scene. They calling each other for their first names and everything. What Rick says it goes totally like we study in PR course.
Yeah, it doesn’t matter if the guy is right or wrong. The fact that he was even considered is the point. Public opinion, as we call, isn’t paying attention when the story is solved but gives so much audience to the scandal.
“I always knew he wasn’t that honest.”
“Well, I have a neighbor who works with the sister of a friend of a guy who works for him. She said he’s suspicious.”
When something not-so-good-but-not-proven-yet comes out, everybody knows everything about the person. Everybody has an strong opinion, as they say. They’re working with the perception of a person. With who they think he is and not who he is by fact.
We’re humans. A race that was born to be judgmental, critical without knowing truly, without understanding the evidences or waiting for the real statement.
So we work with first impressions. We’re trained to change this opinions by using some powerful arguments and changing the focus of the mess.
I love being able to connect the dots between my favorite show and my college. It’s was great!
4x10 Cuffed description:
CASTLE - “Cuffed” - When Castle and Beckett wake up in bed, handcuffed together, in a locked room with no memory of how they got there, they must piece together the mystery of where they are and why, all while trying to escape. But as the two of them adjust to being shackled together, what’s the biggest threat they face… the people who abducted them or each other? Meanwhile, Ryan, Esposito and Gates are left to investigate their disappearance in a case where all is not what it seems, on “Castle,” MONDAY, DECEMBER 5 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Here’s what I’m thinking about this part: Meanwhile, Ryan, Esposito and Gates are left to investigate their disappearance in a case where all is not what it seems (…)
What if they’re not REALLY investigating, but they’re the responsible for getting Caskett cuffed together to solve their situation? Okay, maybe I’m delusional but could be…
C’mon!
The priest’s name is Father Sean McCaskey and the address he gives is 14th Caskettilo Street?!

I LOVE this cast and crew.
